The album drops this summer
Cassadee Pope has announced the release of her upcoming album, Hereditary, out July 12th. The album marks The Voice winner’s first full-length following her shift from country back to her pop-punk roots. The announcement pairs with the release of her latest single and music video for “Three of Us.”
As the voice behind the iconic 2000s pop-punk group Hey Monday, the dynamic songstress known for her country crossover success makes a triumphant return to her roots with “Three of Us.” Released just in time for Mental Health Month, Pope invites listeners to confront the darkness of addiction and embrace the power of empathy, compassion and community.
The poignant narrative delves into the heart-wrenching reality of addiction and its profound impact on relationships. The accompanying music video, set against a backdrop of hanging notes written by those who have experienced the devastating effects of addiction, serves as a call to action, urging viewers to confront the realities of substance abuse with care.
“Three Of Us” is about how heartbreaking it is to watch someone you love struggle with addiction. It’s a subject I’ve never written about but feel ready to share with my fans. And unfortunately, I know many of them have experienced something similar,” says Cassadee.
This soul-stirring anthem reminds listeners that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for redemption and renewal.
Hereditary can be heard as an emotional rollercoaster ride through the ups and downs of life, love, and self-discovery. Each track is a testament to the journey one embarks upon, shaped by our upbringing and the legacies passed down through generations. Whether that’s love, betrayal or the intricate web of family dynamics, the title Hereditary captures the essence of our roots, the echoes of our past and the quest to carve our path.
Pope’s journey back to pop-punk began with the release of the vulnerable track “People That I Love Leave” last year, which welcomed her warmly back into the community that shaped her. The previous single, “Eye Contact” divulges on experiences of betrayal and its lasting impacts, reminding us that healing isn’t linear but is possible.
